#orchestra too at times

Gonna be controversial on main but between the 3 concerts I attended this year, being Distant Worlds, The Eras Tour and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Orchestra World Tour, Distant Worlds is actually my favorite. Even over the Eras Tour. Probably partially because of the fear and panic of getting back to the hotel after. And the meet and greet with Yoko Shimomura at Distant Worlds
#rebirth being dead last#like it was fun but it was also kinda mid#basically all the good stuff is in the first half#and the choir was kinda off#orchestra too at times#timing wise i mean#so maybe eric roth isnt as good a conducter as his father

what do you MEAN the berlin orchestra recorded the tracks for arcane season 2. what do you MEAN the bomb-ass, scary as hell music that plays while caitlyn is being thrust into the role of dictator is the fucking berlin scoring orchestra. was ANYONE going to tell me that or did i just have to find out by surprise while shaking and crying and shitting myself over the soundtrack.
#WHAT THE HELL#ARCANE YOU'VE BECOME TOO POWERFUL#IT'S TIME TO COOL DOWN I THINK#i'm so mad#of course one of the best orchestras in the world is apart of this show#of COURSE#gosh fucking darn#arcane#arcane spoilers#THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

the music in WOT is never random. even if it's just very soft background music, it's relevant to the scene. practically every time there's music playing while egwene is onscreen during s2, the tune is egwene's theme, rearranged and reinstrumentated in dozens of different ways to match the tone of the particular scene. mat has quick little snippets of his theme tune play during various scenes of his, often mixed with the old blood theme from s1, and it finally blares out in full glory for the first time during the horn of valere scene, to parallel how mat is truly finding himself for the first time. even secondary characters like liandrin, siuan, and aviendha have their own dedicated theme tunes that play during their scenes and are never repurposed as background music in other characters' scenes. and all the themes have lyrics in the old tongue that suit the character or concept the theme is about! in conclusion, lorne balfe is truly doing the Most, and i'm so grateful he's the composer for WOT and i hope he'll return for every season the show goes for.
#it's such a joy to rewatch the show after studying the soundtrack and listening to it a million times!#sometimes i would forget to listen to the dialogue because i was too excited about trying to identify the faint background tune#wot#wot on prime#the wheel of time#fingers crossed lorne will be able to do it for all seasons bc keeping the same composer really is so integral for a show imo#especially one like WOT that established such a unique sound landscape in the early seasons#genuinely a major reason why the witcher s2 was such a step down from s1 for me (i haven't watched any seasons since 2)#is bc they changed composers and the cool slavic folk/metal vibe of s1 was replaced by generic fantasy orchestra in s2#it took so much life and feeling out of the show! you might not think soundtrack could have such an impact but it truly does!

Hey I'm graduating college in may and I just kinda realized that I'll be Done Done with school after that. Not fake-done like I was graduating high school, where I'd have to go to college at the start of the fall. And not fake-done like I was in any of my semesters I took off.
Done Done. As in I accomplished my degree, and I won't ever have to go back to school if I don't want to. What a beautiful, beautiful thought.
#speculation nation#i enjoy learning but not in school. school is the soul killer. there's a reason it's taking me 10 years to get my bachelors.#failed classes and switched majors and part time school (so i could work and pay my way thru) and semesters taken off...#for 9 and a half years now it's been a fucking shadow hanging over my head.#just gotta keep going just gotta persevere. slow and steady wins the race.#and well im nearly there now. holy fuck tho i didnt miss full time school lmfao#i went to part time a few years back to save my fuckin self bc it was just *impossible* to do full time school And work to support myself.#and even part time school plus a job was horrible. but i did it anyways.#and here i am now with my lovely life insurance from my awful paternal death. life sure happens as it will huh.#which will let me complete school in a neat 10 years. graduated high school in 2015 and college in 2025. wild.#not glad my dad died but im grateful that ive gotten this opportunity afterwards.#sure is strange the ways life goes.#anyways yeah im in deadlines hell rn with all these fucking projects but ONCE I FINISH THEM#i will be done with this semester. my second to last semester.#theyre releasing class schedules today for next semester too and im a little antsy. cant edit until next week regardless#but i wanna KNOWWWWW what i got. best case scenario i get my 3 classes i need to graduate#plus my orchestra and bowling. so i have a full 12 credit hours. to be full time still.#im scared of not having gotten 3 classes bc theyre selectives yea so i dont need These classes Specifically#but also it'll be a pain in my fucking ass if i have to go scrounging. and i wanna have my first choices...#but we'll see. i selected several fall-through options and i dont need any single specific class to graduate.#so long as i have 3... thatll be enough...#AUGHHHHH college!!!! im almost done!!!!! i might get straight As this semester!!!!!! exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i need to email my professor about setting up the book meeting lol. i should do that today.

shoutout to people with dads who are part of Gen X who introduced them to the best music of their generation when their dads were kids in the 70s-80s (it's me i'm people) (i love my dad <3)
#also shoutout to my 80s mum who has the best taste in metal and rock ever <3#for fun here's a list of artists my dad introduced me to when i was young: queen. the beatles. electric light orchestra. the monkees. acdc.#-jeff wayne and his orchestra. led zepplin. pink floyd. toto. billy joel. europe. guns n roses. weird al. abba. beegees. tom jones.-#-david bowie. michael jackson. king crimson. roar.#my parents have such good music taste#also i love how my dad is mostly 70s 80s rock and stuff and then my mum is just like full on rob zombie#my music taste has basically been inherited from 3 places and 3 places only: my mum my dad and the internet#also fun fact: according to my dad i used to fall asleep to acdc when i was a small child#it was the song ''she's got the jack'' specifically#progressive rock makes me really relaxed to. i have probably been lulled to sleep by pink floyd many times as a tiny child#dude started my music taste young#my dad liking prog rock is probably the reason i like bands like yes and tangerine dream now#also 70s rock is just so. gender?????#maybe the reason 70s-80s music gives me so much gender euphoria is because it reminds me of my dad#anyway yeah shoutout to 70s-80s music#ALSO shoutout to the movies tommy and hairspray and little shop of horrors because my parents showed me them too!!#i really grew up as an 80s-90s kid with 70s music tastes living in the mid 2000s lmao

ok but music is actually the most beautiful thing in every way i’m gonna turn into the sun. music and people and the world and oouyggghhhh
#guy who finally got round to watching the zelda orchestra concert uugghhhfghh#you don’t get it you don’t get it the fucking sheer what humanity??? joy???? love???? in being in a music ensemble like an orchestra#everyone is individuals but right now each person is music as one and we’re all music and the audience are crucial#because you too are the music and for at least one brief moment this is all we are. the sounds and the melody and the rhythms and the music#vvvbvhbbbbvbhbbbvv#cggghjbvvhjjbvb. AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#and the music has always been there abd the music will always be there as time continues to pass#there will always be music in any given moment#but the fact that we come together to specifically create and celebrate music is beautiful beyond understanding#and the truth is there’s music in everything ever because every living thing has some intrinsic level of rhythm and melody#the way you walk. the way the wind blows the sound of your voice the birds singing the sound the leaves make the rain on a shelter#it’s all music. it’s all song#anyway i’m gonna go explode or something gbjbvvghjffch music music i love you music#ezra likes music#<- nee fucking way

idk why it’s just coming to me now but I remember feeling this cold, white catharsis upon realizing that it wasn’t Freddie’s decision to give Glenn that panic attack. It was Anthony’s. And the way he said it, so finite, “Glenn is having a panic attack.” in a tone that was used before only to set up a disastrous scene.
It hurt, a lot, because in the weirdest way possible that’s exactly what having a panic attack is like. You’re sitting there with your world crashing down around you and then a disembodied narrator suddenly says, “This bitch shutting down.” (Distinctly in a Stanley Parable manner.)
#dndads#dungeons and daddies#glenn close#using the team’s actual names instead of ‘mr/mrs lastname’ was fucking traumatizing but I did it so nobody would get confused#anyway I wanted to say something in the tags that I couldn’t above because I can’t add breaks while on mobile#so tw for active shooter DRILLS if you’re reading this#one time. not too long ago#we had an active shooter drill at school while I was in orchestra#and as soon as I heard that my body went ‘oh hell no’ but I have anxiety so I ignored it#and we got outside#and the whole music department was huddled in the parking lot#and it was a beautiful day#and I was shaking#and I turn to my acquaintance maddie and I go#‘I think im having a panic attack’#and then I start laughing hysterically. and I bend over with a hand on her shoulder because there are tears streaming down my face#and my conductor bless his gay soul he comes over like ‘what is going on’#and I had to shuffle to the bhr while an imaginary shooter was in the school#because I tried to Not have a panic attack and besties. take it from me. nobody has IGNORED a panic attack and lived to tell the tale#anyway. glenn just like me fr LMAO

the thing about orchestra is that the music is so pretty and relaxing and makes you want to fall asleep but you CAN’T. BECAUSE YOU’RE THE MUSICIAN
#the amount of times I have almost fallen asleep during orchestra. and I’m first chair too#not during concerts though. too anxious for that#text post#orchestra#violin#violinist#school stories#btw when I say almost fall asleep. I mean having trouble keeping my eyes open. no I am not napping in the middle of a song

cinderella from into the woods is soooo aromantic coded
#being in the orchestra and hearing the entire show for an entire week gives you time to think about the characters a bit too much#the way the baker's wife has to pester her for information about the prince because she keeps talking about the ball instead?#like just her describing him as 'a very nice prince' is so. 'yeah he's nice and he's attractive so i suppose that must mean i love him?'#thinking about her so much.#side note. the girl playing her in my production is so good. she kills it so hard.

s/b: i don't like that thor features a love story
me: well let me tell you about how mcu!thor's core trait is his love and that includes love for his people, love for his homeland/home planet, love for his family and his brother in particular, love for the nine realms and earth in particular, and how that all boils down into love for jane— who's the most human of humans to him; who taught him how to be human too — so of course in the film where we're introduced to the mcu depiction of thor, his story is quintessentially a love story in both hope (jane) and tragedy (loki) and how those two things constantly conflict and contradict one another, and leave thor stranded in the middle because he loves both so dearly; patrick doyle crafted a beautiful OST featuring STRINGS and PIANO instead of just drums and horns because thor is strong and heroic, yes, he is, in fact, a hero but he's a beautiful hero because of his love because he is SOFT and it's reflected in the strings in both of his themes and—
#don't even get me started on how the avengers continues this particular theme so well#god the shot when loki has flung him from the ship and he moves to pick up the hammer and hesitates#y'all they intercut dialogue that someone speaks to banner overtop thor at that exact second#AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT SAID? “you fell from the sky”#he knew dang well he was worthy he /just/ used the hammer to get out of the hulk drop but he was thinking of loki#//who let go ... who was presumed dead for a year//#who .... //fell from the sky//#don't even get me EXTRA started on tdw and how it just keeps this train rolling lord the music of thor's 2 themes in that one too i just#lose my marbles every time gang i wish i had more technical terms and fancy composer lingo to explain this#alas all i have is a lifetime of choir classes and HS band + orchestra#which means that i know what i /feel/ but i can't explain it too good BUT HEAR ME OUT I'M TELLING YOU#his themes in TDW and 2011 both spell out /love/ what makes him a hero is his love !! he's love !!#&&. whispers#&&. meta#&&. | marvel. |#&&. thor.#so anyways guess who's listening to earth to asgard + sons of odin again and crying

call me a stereotypical annoying teenage girl all you want but titanic (1997) had me absolutely transfixed when I first watched it
#shockingly enough I didn't cry when jack died but I DID tear up at the scene#of the mother in third class telling her children a bedtime story one last time so they can sleep peacefully instead of being afraid#god. and the orchestra??? it's been a pleasure playing with you tonight gentlemen or whatever the line was#fuck. that hit me way too hard#also the set and costume design are BRILLIANT and cathy bates as molly brown SERVED#tbh if I was having a love affair with young twinky leo dicaprio and he died in front of me it'd take WAY more than 84 years#for me to get over it#I'll quit yapping now

also gd okay i know this is a minor detail but . our online class discussion board site thing has my real/legal name listed as my display name. and i can't actually change it because my account was set up by the university tech services and is linked to my university account which naturally is under my real legal name. (nevermind the fact that i Do have "sasha" listed as my preferred name In my university account but whatever . ) but no matter how many times i introduce myself as sasha and sign things as sasha and turn things in as sasha fucking EVERYBODY in my class responds to my discussion board posts by calling me my real legal name. and it's starting to really get on my nerves. i would literally prefer you not use any name for me than do that
#i wanna talk about me#i don't even dislike my real name but that is NOT the name i use socially and i DO NOT want it being used casually and socially by my peers#DON'T!#i have the same issue with my school email too (the display name is set as my legal name and i can't change it)#and even when i sign an email as 'sasha' i very frequently get replies addressed back to my legal name#which. like. fine. understandable. it's the name that pops up when you type in my email address.#most of the time the people emailing me are functionally strangers to me anyway like parents of youth orchestra students#whatever. i can deal with that.#but i am gonna blow a gasket the next time EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN MY CLASS calls me by my legal name instead of sasha.#call me sasha. that is my name. don't call me anything else.#unless we're friends in which case sash or sach (or occasionally sauce) is acceptable. (good friends only in those last two cases.)#and if you're an administrator or a govt officer or a doctor or what ever you can use my legal name. fine#but if you're my classmate. call me sasha or i bite your head off. thanks.
